Description

Apollo 11 Flown Robbins Silver Medallion, obtained by
Astronaut Joseph P. Kerwin as a member of the Astronaut Flight
Office. This medallion, serial number 140, was flown aboard Apollo
11, the first manned mission to land on the Moon, with crew members
Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Collins
during July 18-24, 1969.

The design (by Collins) includes the name of the mission and a bald
eagle holding an olive branch landing on the Moon as the Earth can
be seen in the distance. Neil Armstrong's first words broadcast
from the Moon to Duke back on Earth were, "Houston, Tranquility
Base, the eagle has landed." Duke's reply, "Roger, Tranquility
Base, we copy you down. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue.
We are breathing again. Thanks a lot!" was the first voice
transmission sent from Earth to another world. The reverse,
featuring the surnames of the crew members, is engraved with the
dates of the mission, added after the flight. From the
collection of Joseph P. Kerwin, M.D., who has included a signed
Letter of Certification verifying its provenance.

Consign to the 2018 June 9 Featuring The Glen Swanson Collection of Indian War Relics, Including Little Big Horn Legends of the West Signature Auction - Dallas.
